L Andreasen Union College welcomes the youth of the Central Union terri- tory to the Youth's Conference to be held in College View, May 29 to June 2. We should like to express our welcome in such a way that it would not seem formal or perfunctory, but rather heartfelt. Whether or not we succeed in stating our feelings, we do desire everyone to know that Union College extends a most heartfelt welcome to all the young people of our field. Meetings of a similar character have been held in other parts of the field both here and abroad. They have been well attended and much good has been accomplished. We stand at the threshold of a new youth's movement. There arc mighty potentialities in our youth and Union College does not wish to be negligent in recog- nizing them. As far as is possible we shall make every provision for the temporal needs of those who attend; and we know that the intellectual and spiritual feast provided for by the brethren will both satisfy the natural cravings of the young people and stimulate to greater efforts. We want the young people to come to this youth's convention. We hope and believe they will make every effort to do so and to get the benefit that this meeting will give to those who attend. We want them to hear the stirring spiritual talks that will be given We want them to take part in the discussions. We want them to present their problems and also to help solve these problems. We want them to see Union College. We want them to become ac- quainted with our teachers and with the industrial features of our college. We want a large number of those who attend the conven- tion to become so deeply interested in the work of this denomination that they will decide to cast in their lot with us and attend school next year. We shall do our very best to encourage them in this line. So let all the youth attend. We welcome them on behalf of the trustees of Union College, on behalf of the administration, on behalf of the faculty, and on behalf of the student body. Come one, come all. We will manage to take care of you in some way. A great event for the Youth of this Territory 1. Inspiration 2."

VIII COLLEGE VIEW STATION, LINCOLN, NEBRASKA, APRIL 12, 1934 NUMBER 14 BANQUET GIVEN SUNDAY NIGHT Student Speakers Praise Spirit of Union and its Relation to Her Future REES IS HOSTESS Habenicht, as Master of Ceremonies, Encourages School Enthusiasm and Advancement A banquet which terminated the spring vacation social program was held in the college dining room Sun- day evening. After the dinner Ada Townsend sang "Just for Today," accompanied by Margaret Farnsworth. Speeches reflecting school spirit were made by various students. Hel- mut Wakeham pointed out the pleas- ant facts centered around the tradi- tions of Cld Union. Loyalty in rela- tion to students and their Alma Mater was discussed by Harry Turner. "Union is a friend of mine," de- clared Gladys Munn in her talk on friends and friendships. She stated that one's friends made here will mean much to him throughout life. Upholding scholastic standards along with those of a social nature, Helen Foreman pointed out the value of placing scholarship high on the list of standards. Rodney Finney by reference to per- sonal experience discussed the need of spiritual qualities which should be de- veloped in order to make education complete. Wallace Nethery upheld the ap- preciation of the fine arts as being es- sential to a well-rounded character. Jewel Chase read "The Educated Daughter of a Village Groceryman," a reading in which a young girl who was sent to a boarding school returned home with an excessive indication of her education much to the indigna- tion of her parents and friends. Miss Bertha Parker, who was stop- ping over in Lincoln on her way East, was a guest at the dinner. Dean G. W. Habenicht was toast- master for the occasion. Candles blazed along the tables and roses added further charm. SPEECH STUDENTS HEARD IN RECITAL Eight Members of Expression Dept. Read for Large Audience Amusing episodes and pathetic in- cidents were related by expression students of Ivamae Small-Hilts in a recital given the evening of March 31 in the college chapel. That a person may feel as if his friends have forgotten his existence only to find them remembering was the story of "The Man in the Shad- ow," by Childs, told by rdamae Nel- son. Bert McBroom made an appeal- ing intercession for the universal use of the letter "R" in Runyon's "Be- tween You and Me." "Heritage," by Patterson, a story of deep emotion depicting the loyalty of a youngster for an aged negro, was given by Helen Cornell. Mrs. Fern Christensen gave two short readings, "Early Rising." by Saxe, which justifies the late-rising Ameri- can generation, and "In the Spring," by Mason, satirizing the willing hus- band who is unusually helpful with the spring housecleaning. O'Henry's story of "The Church with the Overshot Wheel" was given by Esther M. Miller. Glenn Marcoe related the exasperating experiences of "Mr. Hay's Memory Test," by Loom- is, which is a story of an absent- minded man who overcame his lapses by using a definite system. The ordeal of youthful Penrod Scofield and subsequent mortifying de- tails of school-day raillery, as told by Booth Tarkington in "A Model Letter to a Friend," was given by Marjorie Miller. The troubles of little Joie, who wanted a "daddy who will play wif me,- was told by Flor- ence Lucille Terry in "Daddy Doc," by Kimball. North Dakota is Well Represented at Union College BY AARON OSWALD In glancing through the Golden Cords to find material for this article I came to this conclusion: that since she can not boast of her great num- bers, North Dakota must have other standards for judging her products. One must not be too severe in criti- cising the information here given, for it was gathered in haste, and conse- quently some items may have been overlooked. The first North Dakota graduate from Union college between the years 1921 and 1931 was John Harder, mem- ber of the class of '25. Mr. Harder was principal of Sheyenne River acad- emy before completing his work at Union. At present he is teaching Bible in Enterprise academy, Kansas. The next North Dakota represen- tative was J. R. Bietz, who graduated in the class of '27. Katherine Beck represented North Dakota in the class of '28. She is now teaching English and mothering the girls at Sheyenne River academy in her position as preceptress. Kathryn Bunnell, of the class of '29, is now teaching high school at Merna, Nebraska. In the class with her was Ray Fowler, who is preceptor at Maplewood academy, Minnesota.—a position he has held for several years. In the class of 1930 were Fred F. Zumbaum and Willard R. Went- land. Mr. Zumbaum, who taught Ger- man in Sheyenne River academy be- fore graduating from Union, died a few years ago. Reinhold Bietz, Emil Bietz, Gideon Krueger, J. A. Kurtz, and Emil Lenz —all loyal North Dakotans—graduat- ed from Union in '31. Emil Bietz is now fulfilling his preceptorial respon- sibilities at Enterprise academy, Kan- sas. Next fall he will take up his position as principal of Plainview academy, South Dakota. After grad- uating from Union Mr. Lenz was preceptor and teacher at Sheyenne River academy, North Dakota. At present he is teaching in Eureka, South Dakota. J. A. Kurtz is work- ing at the Chamberlain sanitarium, South Dakota, and Gideon Krueger is a successful farmer near Bowdon, North Dakota. Reinhold Bietz finds his time fully occupied and even crowded in pursuing his duties as Missionary Volunteer, Home Mission- ary, and Educational secretary in the North Dakota conference; however, his shoulders are broad and capable enough for bearing all these burdens. Since 1931 there have been no North Dakota representatives in the graduating classes of Union, but soon again the "state to the north" will (Continued on page three) Northern State Graduates Hold S. D. A. Offices BY ADELINE VOTH Fifteen North Dakota students are enroled in Union college this year.

SOLOMON KRUEGER, of McClusky, is taking the ministerial course and is employed in the college dairy. AARON OSWALD, of Jamestown, I graduates from the pre-medic course this spring and plans to go to Loma Linda this fall. He is one of the South hall monitors. MIRIAM OSWALD, sister of Aaron, is an academy junior and works at the college laundry. RIITII POPPE, of Edgcley, is em- ployed in the business office and is taking the Normal course.

YOUNG PEOPLE TO MEET HERE Youth Representing the Central Union Conference Are Urged to Be Present SMITH IS DIRECTOR World Fellowship, Understanding, and Aim of Advent Movement to be Emphasized What will probably be the largest group of young people ever assembled in the Central union will gather May 29 to June 2 during the Youths' con- ference to be held at Union college. This conference is being held by the Central Union committee in order to promote a greater spirit of fellowship among the young people in this union. "Every church should be repre- sented by some of its senior young people. The spirit and instruction of this youths' conference must spread over this whole Central union," states Gordon H. Smith, Missionary Volun- teer secretary of the union. "It will give a new vision of world-wide fel- lowship in this cause, a renewed con-. secration to its high ideals, a clear understanding and a forward urge in this movement of Christian youth." Most of the delegates will stay at the college during the session and meals will be furnished by the college cafeteria. Other rooms will be pro- vided in the village. Sleeping room in the college will cost twenty cents a night. Everyone is expected to bring his own bedding. Meals at the cafe- teria need not exceed sixty cents a day. Thus the daily expense may be approximated at eighty cents. This meeting is for the senior youth —those from fifteen or sixteen years of age and up. Young married peo- ple are welcome as are also adults who are continually working with young people. It is not required that the young people be church members. Those planning to come are advised to make early reservations by registering with the local conference Missionary Volunteer secretary, because a large number of young people are expected to be here. Problems and plans concerning youth in the denomination will be (Continued on page three) MRS. LEDINGTON, SOPRANO, SINGS Yoke Teacher is Heard in Songs by Tschaikowsky and Strauss Esther Lorntz-Ledington, soprano and instructor in voice at Union col- lege, was presented in recital by How- ard Kirkpatrick, of the University of Nebraska School of Music, in the Temple auditorium Wednesday even- ing. Pearl Fairchild, student at Union college, was the accompanist. Mrs. Ledington sang her first group in Italian—"Amarilli," 'by Caccini, and "A Pastoral," by Veracini. Her second group was in Nor- wegian. The numbers were "God Morgen" and "En Svane," by Grieg. "Adieu, forets," from Jeanne d'Arc, by Tschaikowsky, was sung in the French. Songs sung in German were "Gret- chen am Spinnrade" and "Die For- elle," by Schubert; - Warum, - by Tschaikowsky; and "Standchen," by Strauss. Three of her selections were com- positions of her husband, Prof. Stan- ley Ledington, head of the music de- partment at Union college. These were "Dreams to Sell," "The Scent of Roses after Rain," and "Night and Morning." Much applauded by the audience were the Norwegian folk songs which in turn represented an old woman with a cane, the clucking of a hen, and a girl weeping on the mountain. Other numbers of the recital were "The Hills of Gruzia," by Mednikoff; "Cloths of Heaven," by Dunhill; "The Little Shepherd's Song," by Watts; and "Sea Rapture," by Coates. VOCAL ENSEMBLE PRESENTS CANTATA Music Students Sing Stainer's Work, "The Crucifixion," at Vespers BY WALLACE NETHERY Stainer's cantata, 'The Crucifixion, was given by the Union College Vo- cal ensemble under the direction of Prof. Stanley Ledington the evening of April 6. The cantata is a musical depiction of the events of the crucifixion day. The composer, while writing music that is essentially religious, has dealt with this most poignant of all stories with true dramatic insight. The listen- er is made to feel that he is vitally a part of the great drama which is being unfolded before him, and upon the outcome of which depends the fate of the human race. This feeling is heightened by the ever-recurring theme, "Is it nothing to you?" which comes again and again, now as a challenge and now as a refreshing hope. The ensemble sang well under the direction of Professor Ledington. Win- field Eden and Harold Schmidt sang the solo parts. Helen Foreman was at the piano. WESTBROOK GIVES SABBATH SERMON Entire Sanctification Necessary before God Can Be Present in Men's Lives Sanctification and its work as an in- strument in preparation for Christ's second coming was the subject dis- cussed by Pastor T. B. Westbrook at the College View church Sabbath. God has given the law to His peo- ple that they may be blessed by obedience to it, and God wishes that each individual give whole-hearted devotion to Him in honoring the law, Pastor Westbrook stated. He pointed out that through faith and obedience the people are sanctified. "Before God can come down into our midst, there must be a work of sanctification," the speaker declared. "It is our duty as Seventh-day Ad- ventists to warn the world of this second advent. Even in the state of Nebraska there are thousands who have never heard the message. "Sanctification is not the work of a moment, an hour, a day, but of a lifetime. Only by sternly disciplined effort on the part of the individual is the result accomplished—a result of a life,long obedience."

HONESTY TO ONESELF Last week there were two large lamp globes over the lamps that ornament the campus gate-posts at the Forty-eighth street entrance. Now there are only fragments of the globes resting in the iron guards. Some one failed to recognize another's property. It was only a song-book, but since it wasn't his he folded it until the binding was broken and the rigidity of the cover des- troyed. Just because it wasn't hid book he did as he pleased with it. On the back of one of the chapel seats there was a loose layer of the outer ply of wood. Somebody broke it off, and an ugly scar nearly five inches wide extends across the back of that seat as a reminder of the lack of regard for the property of another. Would the person who walked on the seats of some dining room chairs and stepped through them welcome that act if he were the owner of those chairs? The man who fails to recognize his duty of helping preserve the things that belong to another as well as his own will also fail to recognize his duty to his friends. He will assume his financial obligations with the same air of indifference that has character- ized his acts toward things that were not his. He will thought- lessly abuse the privileges that friendships afford with the same recklessness that attended him when he broke the lamp globes. As he grows to manhood he may wonder why he has so few friends, and why some people get all the "breaks" while he struggles alone. Faithless in the little things in life, thoughtless when he should have shown regard for the things that were sacred to others, he finds himself just outside of the circle that he wishes would include him. But he has built that barrier himself and must continue to pay because he did not learn to respect the rights of othars as he would have them respect his. L. C. PROSPICE "Oh, how happy a thing it is to die, when one has no reason for remorse or self-reproach!" These are the dying words of a man who advocated suicide as well as other immoral practices that offend God and man. Contrast Rousseau's utterance with that of Paul the apostle: "Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief." It is necessary to point out that the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit illumines the evil corners of the heart and that those who constantly indulge in sin see less and less of their own vileness so that it at last leads them to believe that "the soul I am going to give thee back is as pure at this moment as it was when it proceeded from thee." Each man may justly adjudge himself the greatest sinner he knows, though the contemplation of the fact should not occupy his mind and energies continually. Study the following argu- ment taken ,from Law's Serious Call to a Devout and Holy Life: (1) Because you know more of the folly of your own heart than of other people's, and can charge yourself with various sins which you know only of yourself and cannot be sure that others are guilty of them; (2) the greatness of our guilt arises from the greatness of God's goodness to us. You know more of these aggravations of your sins than you do of the sins of other people; hence the greatest saints have in all ages con- demned themselves as the greatest sinners. j. H. M.

FO-46 PAGE TWO THE CLOCK TOWER Sharps and Flats Bt' VIC' OR CLARK The Crucifixion, a cantata by S'r John Stainer, was given by the Un- ion College ensemble under the direc- tion of Prof. Stanley Ledington the evening of March 30. Harold Schmidt sang the baritone solos and Winfield Eden sang the tenor solos. This was Mr. Eden's first appearance as a so- loist in connection with a chorus, and he did remarkably well. The most impressive part of the cantata was the chorus, - Crucify. - This chorus ef- fectively worked up to a grand cre- scendo on the word Crucify, follow- ed by absolute silence. Helen Fore- man, substituting for the regular ac- companist, demonstrated well her abil- ity at accompanying. After the pro- gram the writer heard the same can- tata given over the National Broad- casting company's network and in his opinion the Vocal ensemble did much better. The interpretation here show- ed a thorough artistic understanding of the cantata. * * * Mrs. Esther Lorntz-Ledington gave a voice recital in the Temple auditor- ium at the University of Nebraska Wednesday evening. The recital in- cluded a group of songs by Prof. Led- ington. One of them, "The Scent of Roses After Rain," is being published this year. "Dreams to Sell," another of his songs, was written only two weeks ago. In the opinion of the writer, - Adieu, forets, - by Tschai- kowsky, was the most pleasing of them all. 0 Evil education and example draw out sin, but do not implant it.—VAN OOSTERZEE.

A. NICKEL It is noon. A few straggling stu- dents have already passed the deck of Union's cafeteria where tasty food, expertly prepared, is within easy reach of the hungry. Suddenly a hustling crowd gathers, for the final class bells sound soon after twelve and a great rush is made to the cafe- teria. After his tray has been filled and the cashier has itemized the cost of the lunch, the diner steps out into the broad dining room where the friend- ly personality of Mrs. Fern Chris- tensen beckons. She discreetly places men and women at each table. This is one occasion that some students would like to avoid, but because of dire physical necessity cannot. Others appreciate the opportunity for its so- cial diversion. Here personalities in- termingle and individuality predomi- nates. Mrs. Christensen never seeks to em- barrass or frighten the diner, for, ac- cording to fate and the law of aver- ages, any one and every one at some time or other finds himself or herself host or hostess at these festive oc- casions. Of course, a knife is a knife and a fork is a fork, but when is it not? To be a good host or hostess, Mrs Christensen believes, it is necessary to be able to make the guests feel at ease. Should a lady guest unfortunate- ly drop a bowl of soup on her lap, it would be a catastrophe that should arouse the sympathy of every one at the table, but should the host or host- ess eat peas with a knife—this would be an unforgivable offense. Mrs. Christensen says it is necessary for every individual to practise the fine art of being sociable, and to mas- ter the art requires careful and thought- ful consideration. A few minor and major points of table etiquette are es- sential. She believes that courtesy and friendliness are imperative qualifica- tions for a host and hostess. Some diners at Union make them- selves uncomfortable at the table in the presence of others because they are unaware of the fact that the en- tire group of students is democratic. The manners that most students pos- sess have been acquired in family life at home, where every one is on the same social level. This same atmos- phere pervades social life at Union college. This fact makes it possible for every student to gain the funda- mentals of serving as host or hostess in an exemplary manner. So when the diner leaves the cashier at the end of the deck at this dinner hour, there is no need to have a har- assed mind over the fact that it is necessary to serve as host or hostess at one of the tables. There are a few necessary formalities to be observed— this is no lesson in etiquette—and the KINDY OPT. CO . Eyes Examined—Glasses Fitted $7.50 up 1343 0 St. Lincoln A. I. LOVELL, M. D.

An oc- casional faux pas is quickly forgotten if the individuals at the table are en- gaged in a friendly conversation on the things—there are many—that in- fluence the life of the Union college students. Meditations BY R. JACK CHRISTY Many men have struck chords in the "song of life," and then have lost them—never to find them again. Oth- ers, fighting doggedly against the battlements of Fate, have suddenly felt themselves guided by an unseen hand, until at last their fingers once more catch the keys of the coveted chord; the volume lifts and swells, and the song ends in a burst of rich, melodious sound. Men of good minds sometimes waste their powers in pursuing the foolish philosophies of the world, dabbling with poisonous theories that will some day turn .upon them as monsters and demand their souls. Search for the greatest figure in history before the era of Christ, and your search will end with Mose,s—a man of God. Meek, timid, unaffected —yet of such splendid mind, of such tremendous faith in God that he could organize a motley crowd of more than a half million grumbling, idolatrous Hebrews and move them on a mighty sweep toward Canaan. * * Then there is Paul, another man— a young man—who devoted the great powers of his mind to extending the gospel of the crucified Christ to the world. Paul was a man of brilliant intellect, which is attested by his many books. One cannot read his works without being aware in a distinct sense of the marvelous expansiveness of his mind. Sacrificing an envious place in line for membership in the Jewish Sanhedrin, forsaking loved ones and friends and position—every- thing that stood between him and God—he gave over the use of his mind to the Lord,—and who can measure the result? * * Trees . . . where is there beauty quite like the trees? . . . The sparkle of sunlight on the leaves of an oak after an early morning shower in June . . . a late summer afternoon, and celestial serenity reigns in the depths of an elm. . . . Where will you find so noble a figure as a tree in winter? . . naked he stands, strip- ped of his glorious foliage,—yet proud, bold, and defiant, against the strafing of the elements.

Thus it came to pass that upon the advice of this friend, the professor paid out $2.50 of his hard-earned money for glycerine and an extra seventy-five cents for liquid cement to insure a thorough leak-proof, freeze-proof ra- diator. All was well. The professor smiled, the sun shone, the car purred like a contented kitten. Then came Christmas vacation. stowed away in the car until there was scarcely room for one more sand- wich, were students, family, luggage, pillows, robes, boxes, lunch, and last of all the professor himself at the wheel. The Nash hummed. The pro- fessor headed southward, and the car rolled off the campus toward the sun- ny plains of Kansas. And here beginneth a book of lam- entations. Several miles slipped by. "This car seems to be heating. What do you suppose is the trouble?" the puzzled professor asked his wife. "Must be the glycerine," she said, but she knew not what a great truth she spoke. More miles sped by. "Look! It must be on fire! Smoke is coming up through the floor!" cried the professor's wife. The professor quickly brought the car to a stop, crawled out over his wife, his little son, a lunch box, a suitcase, a pillow, a blanket, and a hand bag, and raised the hood of the car. Smoke poured forth and up into the car—pungent, strangulating, odor- iferous smoke, wholly unlike burning wood, or coal, or even rubber. The professor rendered his report. "It is the glycerine. There is a tiny crack in the engine head. Water never leaked out there, but this glycerine seems to be oozing out very slowly and to far as I can see the only thing we can do is to go on. We can't help it any by sitting out here in the coun- try. There is plenty of glycerine and the radiator isn't leaking a bit." So he climbed back into the cal over his wife, his little son, the lunch box, the suitcase, the pillow, the blan- ket, and the hand bag, and started the car. Slowly the Nash crept southward. Waves and billows of annoying smoke poured up into the car. Window after window was rolled down. There were tears, sneezes, and gasps. But still no sign of relief. At last, "A wayside filling station!" everyone yelled at once. And the pro- fessor carefully guided the smoking Nash to the side of the road. An old man cautiously sidled out toward the car. "Well, you seem to be purty hot. What's your trouble? Ain't you got no water?" "Trouble? I don't know. Suppose we find out," the professor suggested. "I don't have water in the radiator; I have glycerine." Investigation during the next hour revealed many things. The intense heat had burned out the upper radia- tor hose connection, had melted tee solder on the radiator, and had re- duced the remaining glycerine to a mere half gallon of thick, black syrup of the consistency of molasses. Some rags were stuffed in die larg- est hole in the hose connection, more radiator cement was poured down the throat of the radiator, water was sub- stituted for the glycerine, and the pro- fessor again took the wheel. But the tale does not end here. One mile, two miles, five miles— all was well. Ten miles—"It's getting hot," the professor regretfully an- nounced. But a farmhouse stood near. The professor drove in, crawled out the window (his many exits and en- trances to the car having taught him that the window route was far less circuitous and much less be:;et with dangers than his former route over wife, son, lunch box, suitcase, pillow, blanket, and hand bag), and filled the thirsty radiator with water drawn from a deep well by means of a windlass and old oaken bucket. The professor labored back through the window and slipped behind the wheel, but nothing happened. The Nash was dead. Yes, dead, and no amount of flattery or caioling would bring it to life. Suggestions and advice buzzed around the professor's head like bees around a honeysuckle. But nothing worked—nothing except laws and the professor. At length all the passengers poured forth and pushed the car down the road a quarter of a mile to a farm house where there was a tele- phone, but there was no one a: home. One member of the party was dis- patched to the next house, half mile away, to call a garage for help. The other weary travelers sat down ro meditate. The sun was just sinking to rest behind the western prairies. IL was a gorgeous Kansas sunset— flam- ing gold and orange ;Lad cerise, with here and there a splasu of the clear deep blue of the sky showing through. Then as the shadows lengthened and darkness gathered, the flan:in k - I sky softened, the mauve shadows drew closer, the roseate clouds clipped their borders into violet and finally faded from view. And, believe it or not, the professor and his wife, and their little son, sitting on the running board of a car which would not rim, gazed in admiration and awe at the miracle of the setting sun. Finally help arrived, and the Nash was towed six miles into town. Every one but the professor went in search of food, but he patiently munched a sandwich and stayed by the Nash. The mechanic put on a new radiator hose connection, dried out the wires which were soaked with water leaking from the radiator, adjusted all the ad- justable parts, and pronounced his work done. Every one heaved a sigh of relief and settled back to enjoy, at last, a pleasant unbroken trip. But the Nash, ere it had gone half a block, wheezed, choked, sputtered, and all but fainted away in a fit of cough- ing. It was rushed back to the garage for first aid, and the mechanic soon discovered that one of the wires had been connected in the wrong place. Again the Nash pulled out. Miles slipped by in the darkness—three, five, seven— "What's that?" groaned the pro- fessor as a very audible knock de- veloped in the engine. "It sounds like a connecting rod to me." Six miles ahead lay a little village. Slowly the Nash advanced with a pounding heart. Presently the lights of the village came into view, and the Nash was driven into a garage. A dapper youth—hair brushed back in a fresh marcel, shirt thrown open at the throat, trousers meticulously pressed, and shoes carefully polished— advanced with a light of superior in- telligence on his face and, after care- fully adjusting the cigarette which hung from one corner of his mouth, announced to the professor and his party, "You have burned out a con- necting rod. Listen at it pound." (As if they had been doing anything else for the last six miles!) "Out of oil." But the workman who examined the car said, "No, it has plenty of oil; it it nearly full. But it is a connect- ing rod, the third one." The professor addressed the work- man. "Can you fix it up for me right away?" The superior young man smirked, "You'll not get any one to work on it !onight." "Sorry," said the workman, "but I'm afraid we can't: besides, we don't have any connecting rods that would fit this car. We'd have to get them in Marysville and everything's closed up now." "Isn't there another garage in town? Maybe they could take care of it," the professor suggested with much the same attitude a drowning man exhibits when he grasps at ,a straw. The S. Y. M. blew a smoke ring and calmly predicted, "You'll have to stay all night." Inquiries revealed no help forth- coming from the other garage, but further questioning did bring the in- formation that the next little. village, five miles distant, had a Nash agency. The professor decided to risk five more miles of throbbing heartache for the Nash and backed the car out of the garage. As it slid out into the night, the S. Y. M. chirped, "If you don't drive mighty slow, you'll pound out a crank shaft." The next little village had die de- sired Nash agency but no connectiag rods. A long distance call brought tie painful news that Marysville had none. However, the obliging mechanic of- fered to take the car down that night and rush to Marysville early next morning to have the offending rod rebabbitted. "Man!" grinned the mechanic as he expertly made his way to the vitals of the engine, "You must have had this thing hot as a torch. You have plenty of oil but it has carbonized until it won't circulate. This third rod wasn't getting a bit of oil. What happened? Did you run out of water?" But the professor only groaned, "Glycerine," ere he told the experi- ences of the past few hours. The next day just at noon students, family, luggage, pillows, robes, boxes, and the remnants of the lunch box were stowed away in the car. The professor climbed through the win- dow and slid down behind the wheel. The party called a cheery greeting to the village folk, and the Nash glided out of town with a softly-purring motor and a radiator full of—water!

LITERARY FEATURE Adventures with Glycerine BY OPAL WHEELER -DICK FORMER EDITOR LOVES UNION From One Editor to Another BY ADA LUCINE WILLIAMS THROUGH FORTY YEARS THE HOUSE OF WORSHIP FOR UNIONITES Greek Olympics Feature Village Entertainment The dormitories were dark for the most part Thursday evening, not be- cause every one retired early but rath- er because something interesting was happening at the gymnasium: the vil- lege students entertained by giving a program. Wallace Nethcry, alias Wallachio Netherry, gave an impersonation in which he "rendered" a piano solo in- termingled with explanation of the theme of his masterpiece. Greece lent her influence to the pleasure of the evening. Various •'0- lympic - feats were performed, includ- ing contests of javelin- and discuss- throwing, chariot-racing, and archery. By way of explanation of these skill- requiring performances, the javelins were broom straw, the discs were pa- per plates, the chariots scooters, and the archery consisted of throwing pin- pointed arrows at balloons. "Laurel wreath" crowns were awarded to the winners of each contest. Those re- ceiving crowns were: Dave Olsen, Merle Cooper, Bill Carter, Warren Swayze, and Carlton Blackburn. Bert McBroom was official spokes- man for the program. 0 Questionnaire Places Girls Point Above Boys That girls are well informed was demonstrated in the chapel April 2 when Prof. T. R. Larimore conducted an oral questionnaire on general in- formation. Designating A. K. Phillips as organizer for the boys and Anna- bell Rumpf for the girls he impartially presented separate questions for the alternate deliberation of each group. Such questions as "What is the height of Niagara Falls?" "Why is the Eiffel tower so named?" and "When is the vernal equinox?" did not over- come Union college girls. Nor did the boys of Union waver when Professor Larimore inquired "Who said, 'I do not choose to run'?" "What is the largest body of fresh water in the world?" or "Where is the Moffat tunnel?" The final score was 38 to 39 in favor of the girls• which ought to prove something or other. UNION COLLEGE SUMMER SCHOOL E. N.

SENIORS GIVEN DINNER President and Mrs. M. L. Andreasen entertained the Senior class with a six o'clock dinner at their home April one. Before dinner was served, President Andreasen asked each of his guests to form ten words which contained the letter combination - ina" in different positions. During the evening other puzzles were presented which tested the ingenuity of each and the intensity with which he studies the important book which Mr. Webster supplied to Americans. BOOKMEN GOAL REACHED As the result of the bookmen's con- ference held here forty-eight students have decided to enter the colporteur work this summer in the Central Un- ion conference. Pastor D. E. Collins stated that he expects many more to decide to go before the opening of the colporteur institute to be held April 21. Regular bookmen's classes began April 2 in Room 201 under the lead- ership of A. K. Phillips. BABY BORN TO LINCOLNS A baby girl, Madan Ione, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Harold Lincoln on March 20 at Friend, Nebraska. The parents are both Union College gradu- ates of 1932.

College Quartet Tours Nebraska and Colorado Pearl Fairchild, Doris Kirstein, Winfield Eden, and Harold Schmidt, comprising the Union college mixed quartet, returned Monday from a con- cert trip to Colorado. The quartet was accompanied by Prof. • Stanley Ledington and Mrs. Ledington. The group left College View Thurs- day morning. They broadcast from a station in Grand Island. Nebraska. Thursday evening and later gave a program in the Seventh-day Adventist church there. Colorado cities on the itinerary were Greeley• Denver, Bould- er, and Loveland. In the last named place the quartet presented a Satur- day night concert at Campion acad- emy. The programs included solos by each member of the quartet and by Mrs. Leding ton. Mission Band Conducts M. V. Society Program "Unseen Power," a dialogue in two scenes, was presented at the Mission- ary Volunteer meeting on the after- noon of March 31 by the Mission band under the leadership of Florence Lucille Terry and Milden Moore. The first scene was in a consul's office in South America. Here the missionaries, Henry Peterson and Vir- ginia Wyrick, were told of the oppo- sition they would encounter and were urged to return home. They refused, however, because they had faith that God had sent them there. The second scene was in the mis- sionaries' home in the field. Their faith 'was tested when a mob attacked them, but God intervened and they were saved. Some of the otho,rs taking part were: Ruth Poppe, Esther Reeder, Eleanor Kirkpatrick, Dave Olsen, Wilton Black, and Eugene Terry, Doris Kirstein sang a solo between the two scenes. State Prison Chaplain Addresses Volunteers "The success of a Christian can come only by steadfastly setting his face towards the goal and by abiding in the bosom of the heavenly Father,'• de- clared Thomas A. Maxwell, chaplain of the Nebraska State penitentiary, in a lecture given at the meeting of the Village Missionary Volunteers held in the church the afternoon of March 31. According to Mr. Maxwell, the success of Christ resulted from abid- ing in the bosom of the Father, and only by doing the same can the Chris- tian hope to overcome the trials and temptations that beset a follower of Christ. "Christ won the victory over the devil and the powers of the evil one during a period of sorrow. The Chris- tian today must go through the Geth- semane experience and decide for eternity. The trials help to decide," the speaker declared. TRAINING SCHOOL PROGRAM SPONSORED The normal training school gave their spring program April 1 in the college chapel. The first three grades sponsored a little Dutch play in a setting of the native land. "The Spring Song" was the title of a dialogue given by the fourth-grade children. A dialogue on temperance, in which a little boy in- fluenced two men to refain from liq- uor, was given by the fifth grade. Students of the sixth grade took part in a scene entitled "An Old Song with a New Meaning." The dialogue giv- en by the seventh and eighth grades was written by the English class. 128 Carroll Avenue Takoma Park, D. C. April 1, 1934 Dear Jean: Since the weather has been a popu- lar topic in this vicinity all winter, I must begin this letter with a comment on it. Californiacs (Prof. H. T. Elliott distinguishes between California-ices and acs), I have discovered, are not the only people who deplore "unusual" weather. Washington's reputation, as I understand it from authoritative com- mentators, is that of having mild win- ters. But it is such fun to see the citi- zens defend themselves that often I reply to their greeting "Oh, you're from Nebraska, where the wind blows and it gets cold!" with "Yes, I'm from Nebraska. I haven't worn a winter coat for three winters out there; but this year in Washington I've worn one nearly three months. - A week ago I opened my window and jarred foot-long icicles from the eaves, even if spring had come offi- cially. But the grass is green and some bushes have already budded with leaves; so soon I'll be seeing the sort of beauty that doesn't grow so richly and abundantly at home. Don't worry —I still love our plains and the wind. "The world is so full of a number of things, I'm sure we should all be as happy as kings." And I am whenever I watch nature anywhere. There are beautiful trees and fish and flowers and and people. There are rugged hills and unadorned fields and plain people. They're all part of the plan. Because the climate here is much damper than in our Nebraska, the foliage, flowers, and undergrowth are much more luxuriant than they are at home. A short trip into Virginia last fall convinced me that fairyland ac- tually exists. There is also a great deal of man-made beauty in the city itself, as every one knows. One thing that inspires my soul most is the Lin- coln memorial—probably because Lin- coln the man appeals to me as does no other character in modern history. Speaking of characters, it's funny being in a city full of them and never seeing any. As much as I sympathize with his efforts to escape publicity and be natural, I'd like to have set myself on a curb and waited any necessary hours to glimpse Colonel Lindbergh and his famous grin when he was here in Washington recently to confer with Secretary of War Dern and to answer questions before the Senate committee as they struggled with air mail prob- lems. Some people have all the experi- ences! Katy Lutz-Meckling, class of 1931, has something happen every once in a while really worth "writing home about." But since every one knows it's practically impossible to get Katy to write letters, I promised to see that she got the proper publicity. One Sabbath she took a sunshine band group to a certain home for old peo- ple, and in the midst of the program everything ceased, for the First Lady of the land came in for a visit. The group of sunshiners insisted afterward that Mrs. Roosevelt's hope "to see you all again some time" was for them personally. Katy's description in- cluded such phrases as "tall—much taller than I had thought," "bowing and smiling," "plainly dressed," "low- heeled shoes," and "charming." Figuratively speaking, I live with the Takoma Park volunteer fire de- partment under my nose—or ear. On windy days one hears the siren about as often as we did on such days in the times before College View became a part of Lincoln, when every little chicken coop fire called forth a series of siren warnings long enough to con- vince every one that the whole town was afire. In the dead of morning not long ago the engine went shrieking out toward the college, and I sat up with my heart in my ears. After while I saw a faint red glow in the cloudy sky in what I thought was the direc- tion of the college. (I never can tell about directions in Takoma Park, ex- cept in a vague way. I start down the street with the moon directly in front of me; end before I can notice that the street has curved, the moon will suddenly have been pushed off to the right or left in a most startling manner.) You have probably read in the Sligonian that the brush factory near the Washington Missionary col- lege campus burned. That was what happened on the night I mentioned. Katy lives in a house in the block where the factory stood. She said the heat from the fire was so intense they could feel it through their closed win- dows. Had one of those Kansas winds been visiting us, the near-by hcLuses should have been in serious danger. Here are the names of a few people in and around Takoma Park who have been students or instructors at Union some time in its history. Nearly every week I learn of some one else who was there once; so this list makes no pretense of being definitive: Pastor J. L. Shaw, treasurer of the General conference, who was pre- ceptor at Union college for four years and instructor in science; Mrs. J. L. Shaw; Prof. M. E. Kern, secretary of the General conference, who was a student and an instructor in history and Bible at Union; Mrs. M. E. Kern; Prof. A. W. Peterson, secretary of the General Conference Missionary Volunteer department, who was a stu- dent there; Prof. W. I. Smith, asso- ciate secretary of the General Con- ference Educational department, new- ly elected president of Pacific Union college, who graduated from Union in 1911; Pastor John C. Thompson, asso- ciate secretary of the General Confer- ence Sabbath school department, who was a student there; Pastor H. 0. Ol- son, associate secretary of the General Conference Bureau of Home Missions; Dr. M. E. Olsen, president of the Home Study institute and father of Louise Olsen now at Union, who was Professor of English at Union; Mr. L. W. Graham, treasurer of the Re- view and Herald Publishing association, who was a student there; Mrs. L. W. Graham, who was a student there; Miss Lora Clement, editor of the Youth's Instructor, a Union graduate of 1908; Prof. H. A. Morrison, who was president of Union; Mrs. H. A. Morrison; Leo Thiel, professor of Eng- lish at Washington Missionary col- lege, who was president of Union; Mrs. Leo Thiel; A. W. Werline, pro- fessor of history and registrar at Washington Missionary college, who was a student there; Mrs. A. W. Werline, who was a student there; E. C. Blue, professor of chemistry and biology at Washington Missionary college, who was a student there; Miss Lulu Leech, critic teacher at Washington Mi§sionary College Train- ing school, who was a student there; Mrs. Walter Mead, formerly Gene- vieve Johnson, who was a student and later a music teacher there; Marie Saunders, dietitian at Washington sanitarium, who was a student there; A rminnie Snyder, employee at Wash- ington sanitarium, who was a student there; Beulah Stringer, senior at Washington Missionary college; Har- old Cedol, also a student there; and Wilma Stringer, employee in Takoma Park. And I "also ran." Missionaries have something to write home about the natives and their queer customs. But I'm still in U. S. A.—and besides stenographers should be seen and not heard, except on their typewriters. Should I say I miss being at Union? Don't we all! We inevitably come to be glad we lived through dormitory routine, took certain troublesome clas- ses, or listened unappreciatingly to some lectures. Do people still read poetry there? "Here's one of the prettiest verses I've found recently. Edna St. Vincent Millay wrote it: "The world stands out on either side No wider than the heart is wide; Above the world is stretched the sky, No higher than the soul is high." THE CLOCK TOWER is full of in- terest. I hope the day will come when it can go back on weekly sched- ule, not that I'm wishing any tough luck for future editors, however. It would be fun to be there to see spring trip across Union's campus, leaving dandelions and summer snow on the spirea in its wake. Greetings! PA PTY LIMP ;. — A i •
